Ammoman.com Warning

[Crusader]

If you've happened to surf Ammoman.com lately, you may have noticed that they currently sell cases of Wolf .223 for $269/case.

The photo they show on the website is copper jacketed Wolf, which means that it is not magnetic. However, I received my order of Wolf last night, and it is definitely the bi-metal magnetic jacket.

Beware. If you have considered placing an order for this ammo, or already have placed an order, thinking that this ammo is not magnetic, IT IS MAGNETIC.

I have contacted them about the issue, but so far they have not answered my phonecalls and I haven't received an email yet.

Yep, there it is. 55gr copper FMJ.

Oh I see...you are referring to the projectile....not the case. Got it.

Doesn't it say steel case on the box? that is what is probably attracting the magnet.

it does....

No the bullet has a bi-metal jacket, which means it is a mix of steel and copper. So it is magnetic.

Wolf has come out with an all-copper jacketed bullet. Since there is no steel in it, it is not magnetic. Wolf specifically changed the boxes to say "copper jacket" to advertise that they were non-magnetic. The picture shown that represents the ammunition by Ammoman.com says "55gr copper jacket FMJ" which means that it should not be magnetic.

However, the ammunition I received does not say "55gr copper jacket FMJ" on the box, and upon running a magnet over the bullet I found that it is indeed a bi-metal jacket and thus, magnetic.

Correct me if I am wrong but it's not steel in the bi-metal jacket but actually Tin? Thats what is causing it to be magnetic, no? The casings are steel but the bi-metal jacket are free of it (steel).

And should that happen, get ready to file a chargeback with your credit card company if you used that method.

What's the problem with it being magnetic? Besides you expecting it to be non-magnetic.
